Happy New Year! 2015

2014, 1st semester in the NEW OES, was a time of creating a new normal.
We have learned our way around a bigger library, enjoyed more time in the library as library special classes increased from 30 min. to 50 min. for the 1st graders and 40 min. to 50 min. for the 2nd graders.

First graders are adjusting as we enjoy our time together in large group time and their independent time hunting for library books to enjoy, read and take AR quizzes.

Second graders have taken the center concept and enjoyed every minute... from the reading center to the iPad center, from the scavenger word hunt to the author center!

Amazingly, students come all day long to check out books!  We have approximately 300 students checking out books daily!

Hope this 2015 year continues to see students love books and reading!
